" I heard a lot of hype about Punjabi Deli, and it lived up to all of it! The food is delicious, with vibrant flavors and generous portions. I especially enjoyed the bhindi and roti. The only downside was the wait time during lunch hours due to its popularity. However, I would say the wait is definitely worth it for an incredible meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled to Punjab, I found Punjabi Deli to be quite authentic! The chickpea curry was delightful and truly tasted like home. The portion sizes are decent for the price as well. On the downside, the environment felt a bit dingy and could use a good cleaning. If you're after excellent Punjabi food and don’t mind the aesthetics, I say go for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can truly say I found a slice of home at Punjabi Deli. The samosas were packed with flavor, and the curries brought back memories of my grandmother's cooking. The portion sizes were generous and prices very reasonable! Just be prepared for the small space. I’ll definitely return to grab a quick meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time trying Punjabi Deli, and it left quite an impression! The food was hearty and flavorful, which is exactly what I was looking for. The bhindi masala was excellent! One downside was having to eat standing up amidst the rush, as the place is small, but that speaks to its popularity. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am absolutely in love with Punjabi Deli! Each time I visit, the food is exceptional, the authenticity shines through, and it genuinely feels like home-cooked meals! For an affordable price, I experienced a mix of flavors in my thali that I can't get enough of. They do need to work on how cramped it feels when busy, but I don’t mind grabbing takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don’t be fooled by the tiny exterior; Punjabi Deli packs quite a punch when it comes to flavor. The roti is freshly made and pairs perfectly with any curry. I would say this is one of my favorite places for vegetarian Indian food in NYC—extremely affordable too! The atmosphere might not be great for dining in, but takeout is the way to go with their meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Punjabi Deli is a true hidden treasure! The food brings back memories of my childhood meals back in India. I particularly loved the palak paneer and the chai. Everything is cooked with so much love. However, be prepared for a small space; it's a standing room only if you want to eat in. I usually grab my food to go. Prices are ridiculously low for such authentic food — I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)
